mAc Chaos Report post Posted July 15, 2014 Use this thread to discuss the new announced characters Celica and Lambda and BBCP2. Use the News & Gameplay thread just to discuss the hard facts related to the announcements. (What the news says).This thread is for all the "I hope they do X" "That move looks neat" "I'm going to play Celica" "Minerva's wearing Tao-like sleeves" "It better not cost money" "I wonder what Lambda's style will be like" type comments.

Oniros Report post Posted July 15, 2014 My only concern is ASW pulling a CS Extend. Give us the option to update from vanilla BBCP or go to hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoWL Report post Posted July 15, 2014 Not sure how much Celica/Lambda talk is allowed in the main thread, but I guess I should stay on the safe side and keep talking here. http://www.siliconera.com/2014/07/15/blazblue-chrono-phantasma-add-celica-lambda-arcades-fall/ "The magazine report reveals that Celica will fight using her Machina, Minverva. Meanwhile, Lambda will fight in Nu’s battle style, Luna Forma, as the base, and will have different Drive attacks." http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/jul/15/celica-mercury-and-lambda-no11-playable-characters-coming-blazblue-chrono-phantasma/ "Lambda-11, on the other hand, will fight in a similar fashion to BBCP Nu-13's "Luna Forma" fighting style -- Nu-13 is a character who starts off each round in her default "Dia Forma" fighting style, but is capable of switching into the "Luna Forma" style through her Phase Shift special move (down, down+A). Lambda-11's Drive attacks will also be different than those of Nu-13's." Is that supposed to prove me wrong? Both those sources say that she has a different Drive from Nu, and that she's based on one of her forms. That's it. If this was SF or some other fighting game, this would've already been more than enough to justify a new character, but ASW's track record clearly shows how deeply they care about character variety, so I'm more inclined to believe that it won't come down to just those two points. This isn't Hat Noel or something like that, why do you expect the worst-case scenario? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stellarcircle5 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 Totally digging Lambda's new design, she looks so sick! You won't see any complaints coming from me, the more characters, the better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Verimeloni Report post Posted July 15, 2014 Wasn't CS2 a free update for those who owned vanilla with a retail version available? I wouldn't mind a CP2 is there were to do it like that again. Well the balancing was free but the new characters weren't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordsman09 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 Celica better not be another Kokonoe Tier character. I already don't like the idea of her as a playable character to begin with. And if Makoto does not receive any significant buffs, I might as well quit the game. I'm almost convinced now that Lambda-11 will play like Ramlethal Valentine. One drive will be for setting up and the other will be for detonating. That sounds about right to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One drive will be for setting up and the other will be for detonating. That sounds about right to me. I support this theory. I know balance isn't easy or whatever but there is a happy medium. Makoto does not need to be dumpster tier for any reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NecroTheReaper Report post Posted July 15, 2014 So I get my female puppet character? YES. Granted, she's not a masked mind rapist, but still, A FEMALE PUPPET CHARACTER. Sub found. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackYakuzu94 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 I will use Celica, because it's going to piss off my friends who hate her. It's like bringing down divine Karma. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Of Chaos Report post Posted July 15, 2014 Celica is here. The dream is real. I've needed a new character to fill Jin's spot in my roster anyway, since I haven't been playing him all that much anymore. I'm interested to see how they will differentiate Lambda from Nu, but I'm not too interested. Never could get a grip on those Murakumo characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TPPR10 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 So I am going to throw a wild guess that Celica will be a dart board with defense mechanism. I.E. She does nothing more than maybe few slaps and maybe she has some sort of healing move and Minerva does pretty much everything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fujiwara Report post Posted July 15, 2014 Also hoping she isn't koko tier. I want to play this character. celica for president. now all I need is trinity and I'm golden. I actually hope celica is shit tier so no one plays her Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RifleAvenger Report post Posted July 15, 2014 I actually hope celica is shit tier so no one plays herNever something to hope for. At worst, hope for everyone else tier. I'd rather that we not get any more god-tier or garbage tier characters. Though, I'd find it funny if she was mid-tier overall, but was godlike against Kokonoe or something (kinda like Megaman in MvC2). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordsman09 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 I actually hope celica is shit tier so no one plays her Someone other than Makoto to be bottom tier. Please no more Puppet characters after this. I don't know where we can go from here anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thiz Report post Posted July 15, 2014 Yeah sorry, but I am going to drop all the characters that I currently play as, as soon as Celica and Lambda are out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
